Filter Context

The set of filters applied to the model when a DAX measure is evaluated, coming from visuals, slicers, filters, RLS and CALCULATE.

Definition

Filters propagate along relationships from the one side to the many side (or both ways if bidirectional). CALCULATE is the only function that can modify filter context.

Exam tip

A measure returning the same value in every row of a visual usually means the filter isn't propagating (wrong relationship direction or a missing relationship).
